We saw many more animals then at eg Tikal. It must have been quite an important place, given that like Tikal certain structures are in Teotihuacan style, which would suppose a permanent trade agency or an ambassador to that Mexican culture resided here.
Average ratings for this site from all visit loggers: Condition: 3 Ambience: 5 Access: 3
The best preserved, partially reconstructed structure is Temple 216 - from it's top it's possible to see other pyramids and the lake. In Yaxha there are also 40 preserved stelae with Mayan inscriptions. Yaxha is one of the three most important sites in this area - the others are Nakum and El Naranjo. Guided one-day tours from Flores to Yaxha and Nakum are best and most popular way to visit the sites.
